Viniou Reviews
The Georg Schmelzer 2018 Cuvée "Schlicht und Ergreifend" is an intriguing orange wine, originating from the Burgenland region of Austria. This wine is rather distinctive due to its production method that typically involves extended skin contact, lending it a deep amber hue and a complex structure. The exact grape varietals in this blend are unspecified, which adds a sense of mystery and exploration for the palate. Orange wines like this one are known for their robust flavours, often exhibiting characteristics such as dried fruits, nuts, and herbal notes. The 2018 vintage signifies a maturing profile, likely offering a balance of freshness and underlying depth.
Burgenland, a renowned wine-producing region of Austria, is celebrated for its diverse terroir. Nestled close to the Hungarian border, Burgenland boasts a continental climate with warm, sunny days and cooler nights, benefiting grape ripening and flavour development. This region's soils vary from clay to limestone, contributing to the complexity and minerality found in its wines. The history of wine in Burgenland is rich and storied, with a strong tradition of craftsmanship and innovation, particularly in producing natural and biodynamic wines.
For pairing, this orange wine's robust and textured profile shines with richly flavoured dishes. Consider pairing it with roasted poultry or pork, dishes with umami elements like mushrooms, or even a flavourful curry. For a regional touch, try it with Austrian classics like Wiener Schnitzel or Tafelspitz, where the wine’s acidity and structure complement the rich flavours of the dishes beautifully.
To fully appreciate this wine's intricate aromas and texture, it is best served slightly cooler than room temperature, around 12-14°C. This temperature enhances the wine's complex aromas and ensures a balanced taste experience on the palate. Allow it to breathe for a while in the glass or decanter to fully unlock its aromatic potential. Enjoy your exploration of this unique orange wine from Burgenland.
